In this week's Friday Free Plug-in, we are featuring Kotelnikov from Tokyo Dawn Records. This is a free plug-in and while there is a paid for version available, the Kotelnikov "Gentleman's Edition", this free version is a very capable and fully featured compressor. Described as "proudly digital" this is a new design which owes nothing to classic hardware and aims to provide flexible and powerful, transparent compression.

The Gentleman's Edition adds extra features, some common such as an external side chain input and some much more unusual such as Automatic level matching in bypass and frequency dependent ratio. 

Key Features

• 64bit multi-rate processing structure for highest accuracy
• “Delta” oversampled signal path (bit transparent at 0dB gain reduction)
• Super fast, yet natural sounding compression
• “Crest factor” based control scheme offering independent release controls for peak and RMS events
• Flexible sidechain highpass filter
• Advanced stereo linking options optimized for the stereo bus
• Delta preview mode previews the difference between compressed and original signal
• Latency compensated, click free bypass (i.e. processing never interrupted)
